Re: Polycount Model Database for Normal Mapping
Bitmap, awesome stuff =) Per, yea I hear ya. But I think what needs to happen is a few scripts need to either be written or if they exist already post links. Before libraries like this to be useful on the fly when you actually need them, I totally agree you need a way of sifting through it all and organizing it that's not… -

Maya: Level Tools 3.5 http://area.autodesk.com/index.php/downloads_plugins/plugin_detail/leveltools_35/ This is the set of tools for Maya I was talking about earlier.

Re: Polycount Model Database for Normal Mapping
I tried the Soulburn scripts but I wasn't able to get them to work. I know what floaters are... but I'm wondering how people use them.

Re: Polycount Model Database for Normal Mapping
Another easy way to place things on the surface is with the Attachment Constraint. It will let you slide/align the floater along any surface you pick. Here's what you do: - Select your floater click Animation > Constraints > Attachment - Click or click/drag on the surface to place it. Tips: - Assign Attachment Constraint…
